Article Abstract

[reaction: see text] A general, efficient, and experimentally simple method for the generation of sulfenate salts has been developed using beta-sulfinylesters as substrates. The process is based on a retro-Michael reaction, initiated by deprotonation at low temperature. Upon treatment with alkyl halides, the liberated sulfenates are subsequently converted into sulfoxides in good to excellent yield. Extension of the methodology to an unprecedented access to nonracemic sulfoxides by introduction of an enantiopure ligand, (-)-sparteine, is also described.

This study addresses the challenge of reducing "net" toxic pollutant discharge, specifically dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), while minimizing the energy consumption and costs associated with detoxification. Our research focuses on reintroducing fly ash and scrubber sludge (ASR) into a hazardous waste thermal treatment system equipped with gasification-intense low oxygen dilution (GASMILD) and an advanced air pollution control system (APCS). This approach yielded a remarkable PCDD/F removal efficiency exceeding 99.

Deuterated compounds have broad applications across various fields, with dehalogenative deuteration serving as an efficient method to obtain these molecules. However, the diverse electronic structures of active sites in the heterogeneous system and the limited recyclability in the homogeneous system significantly hinder the advancement of dehalogenative deuteration. In this study, we present a catalyst composed of copper single-atom sites anchored within an ordered mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon matrix, synthesized via a mesopore confinement method.

The development of diverse microstructures has substantially contributed to recent progress in high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials, providing a versatile platform for the modulation of absorption properties. Exploring multidimensional microstructures and developing tailored and gentle strategies for their precise optimization can substantially address the current challenges posed by relatively unclear underlying mechanisms. Here, a series of 2D/1D heterogeneous NiO@PPy composites featuring hollow hierarchical microstructures are successfully synthesized using a straightforward strategy combining sacrificial templating with chemical oxidative polymerization.
